/ Getting Started
The Smart Remote lets you power your GoPro on/off, start/stop recording
and change camera settings. The display, status light, Power/Mode button
[
], Shutter/Select button [ ] and Settings/Tag button* [ ] behave
in the same way as those on your camera.
The Smart Remote is waterproof to 33’ (10m). However,
wireless connectivity does not work under water, so the
remote and cameras do not remain connected if submerged.
* The Settings/Tag button is available only on HERO4 cameras.

CHARGING THE SMART REMOTE
We recommend charging your Smart Remote for one hour
before using it the first time. No damage occurs if it is used
before being fully charged. You can use the remote while it
is charging.
The status display shows the remote’s battery level while the
remote is powering on or charging.
Note: When the remote is searching for a camera, the battery drains faster. If you are not using the remote
during charging, be sure to turn it off to conserve battery power.
